🇹🇷Ephesus, Turkey｜Ancient Rome that has lost its glory for thousands of years🏰

I danced with flamenco steps at the Roman Opera House💃🏻 Thousand-year-old historical relics carved by time, a gift from the god Diana🎁 ---Ephesus 🔺Ephesus is located south of Izmir, the third largest city in Turkey. This place name has appeared in the New Testament. It is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world and is currently the largest Greek and Roman ancient city in the world🏰 ✨Ephesus is a large city founded by the ancient Greeks in Asia Minor. Most of it is now only ruins. The ruins of Ephesus are a famous tourist spot in Turkey. Part of this once famous city is today the Turkish town of Selcuk. 🇹🇷This city became famous under the rule of the ancient Greeks. They built the famous "Temple of Artemis". Although only one pillar remains today, people can still imagine its grandeur. During the Roman Empire, Ephesus was unprecedentedly prosperous. The city's buildings were gorgeously decorated, and most of its residents were well-educated and wealthy. The city has since experienced man-made and natural destruction, and today only ruins remain, but its important status as one of the most impressive ancient cities in the world cannot be denied. 📖In 2015, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. 🧩Only a small part of the huge site has been excavated so far, and this small part is enough to show us the original prosperity of this ancient city: the fast and wide harbor streets leading to the harbor, the large-scale open-air theater, The beautifully built Selcuk Library, the world's earliest brothel, the exquisite mosaic floors... 🎵The Ephesus Ten Thousand People Theater, the theater as a whole is well preserved and is still in use after 2000 years. When the Ephesus Arts Festival is held every August and September, this theater is the venue for performances. ❗️The sound transmission effect of the theater is very good. Many tourists here will recite and sing loudly in the center of the stage, and the sound can be heard clearly spread to every corner. The grand theater here can accommodate 24,000 people, with a total of 66 rows of seats. It is in the shape of a semi-cone with a diameter of 154 meters and a height of 38 meters. It can accommodate 1/10 of the total number of residents of Efes at that time. It is very majestic. 🗺️Route: There are buses to and from the train station at the south gate and the north gate. We entered through the north gate. As soon as we entered the door, we saw a tree-lined avenue with a grand theater on the left and an experience museum on the right. It is recommended to visit the Ephesus Experience with Chinese explanations first. Museum (Ephesus Experience Museum) ⚫️Experience the museum The whole exhibition hall is divided into three exhibition halls, and the technological audio-visual experience is great! The statue of Artemis in the museum symbolizes fertility and wealth, so keep your wallet full! ⚫️Ephesus Coliseum It’s great to take photos and check in. The open-air amphitheater has great sound effects. There used to be gladiator performances and there are still events held today. ⚫️Library of Celsus A landmark attraction, it was one of the three major libraries in the world during the Byzantine era. The existing facade was also rebuilt after its original appearance. ✔️The recommended camera positions are frontal panorama, frontal left side, door colonnade unmanned angle, and distant portrait. ✔️On the roadside walking from the theater, you can see the ancient billboard of the romantic place, a carving of a footprint, a woman's head, and a heart; it is said that there is a secret passage leading here from the library; ⚫️Hadrian’s Temple It is relatively well preserved and is a representative example of a typical Corinthian temple. The statue on the front of the interior wall is the Gorgon Medusa, which is also the prototype of the Star 8 Grams logo. 🍴The restaurant at the north gate entrance tastes great!
